Guilio,

You are the man! It works. I can't believe it. I dropped in the
kickstart disk, started with a fresh Redhat install, and voila, this
thing is running and I can log in multiple times. Turns out all the
pseudo terms are there. I must have foo bar'ed my system somewhere
along the way with the last install. Who knows? All I can say is that
this resolves a major issue.

Now just to figure out the problem with printing. It seems that this
app uses SCO's nroff, but things just aren't working right.
